For years the human race has abused the Earth, raping its land and killing its creatures. In our haste for development and discovery, we continually ignore the impact of our greed. Despite our knowledge of the repercussions that our actions have on the planet, we still continue to destroy it. Now, it seems, the planet has finally decided to fight back.Natural disasters ravage the world, while people scramble to save themselves. On the day the terror strikes New Jersey, Ryan finds a strange dog on his doorstep. The dog looks like an average stray, but Ryan soon learns that this is no ordinary canine. Guided by this extraordinary dog, Ryan travels across the countryside, surviving everything from raging fires to explosive earthquakes. Along the way, he is joined by other survivors, and together they are witnesses to the evils and injustices of man. To stay alive, Ryan must not only put his faith in this unique dog, but in himself as well. Soon, Ryan realizes that he's not only fighting for his own survival, but the survival of all mankind.
This was a very good read that kept me captivated with a great plot and interesting characters. All of the events that happened hit a little too close to home having grown up close to New York city, but wouldn't surprise me based upon how people live up there. The author brings light to many factors that we overlook during an age based upon commercialism that doesn't worry about it effects on the environment. Opened up my eyes to what we are doing and what I can personally do to try to fix the damage.

Once I started this book, I had a hard time putting it down to get chores done. Fernando weaves into a fasinating story the truth about what we humans are doing to the environment and our treatment of animals. I have been highly recommending this book to all of my animal loving friends who care about our planet and all others who are willing to open their eyes or just want a really good read.

I found this book to be very interesting from the first page right to the last page. It keeps you reading and wondering what will happen next and how the main charater and his friends will survive from one experience to the next. There are twists and turns all through the book that are so unexpected and interesting. This book touches many emotions and feelings as you read through it. It also makes you think about the state of the environment and how powerful it is. It shows how important our pets are in our lives. I highly recommend this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dog Spelled Backward! It is a story full of truth about what we are doing to the environment, but told in a suspenseful tale full of interesting characters. The way that Fernando Camacho incorporates the guidance of this special dog into the story seems natural and believable. Animal lovers and the environmentally concerned will love the message! It is truly an entertaining and thoughtful story! I look forward to his next novel!
